Alex Pardo always had the entrepreneurial, bug even when he was
a kid. Before he was a teenager, he was already engaged in the
business of flipping - flipping baseball cards in baseball card
shows that is. He found money in that simple gig, but it wasn’t the
thing that made him who he is now. No, that would come at a much
later time where he found himself working close to 80 hours a week
for GE’s financial management program, back when he aspired to
climb the corporate ladder.

Needless to say, he didn’t see himself working like that for the
rest of his life. After the program, he went back to his hometown
Miami, joined a boot camp about marketing for deals and would
shortly earn $44,000.00 in his first deal ever. He hasn’t looked
back since.

Today, Alex talks about building your own team and the practices
he advocates when it comes to hiring, how he markets his business,
the many failures and takeaways he got from them, and his tips on
making your business run smoother.

“People that you bring on your team should make you money.” –
